on 4/25/2008 you can combine pork, chicken parts, chicken gizzard and liver. simmer.after simmering remove the meat and sauce. pour a little oil and pan fry the meat and pour again the sauce. bring to boil and turn of the fire. in serving the adobo,cut some tomatoes and sprinkle a little salt as a side dish for adobo.

on 4/3/2008 I forgot about the lingering stench of vinegar. The food is awesome though.

on 4/2/2008 I'm actually a little embarrassed that I had to look up the recipe especially when I'm Filipino and grew up eating this stuff. Whatever, thanks to this article, my Adobo was a SUCCESS! It tastes just like my mom's cooking =)

on 11/22/2005 It's better to par boil the chicken before making the adobo because it takes the slimy coating off the chicken. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of vinegar. The lemon juice gives a better taste to the chicken without being sour.

on 11/22/2005 I like to add 2-3 yellow chilies to the cooking process, which gives it a great flavor. Do not cut up the chilies. When one eats it, they can cut up the chilies in their bowl for a hot bite.
